The Festivus Beer is ready to be served at the unrelated hanson brothers festivus bash. What began as an IPA is now a great amber with a very smooth finish and almost no lingering hop flavor. This is very odd considering it was supposed to be a hoppy IPA. Our collective analytical minds will set to work on this problem immediately and attempts will be made to brew an actual IPA. Or perhaps next time we'll try a winter warmer. On that note, the festivus amber ale weighs in at about 8% alcohol by volume. The alcohol flavor is not even noticeable in this smooth drinking ale, but put a few back and you are sure to feel the punch.

Now that I am seasonally unemployed again, you'd think I would get more opportunities to write, but so far with the Christmas season approaching and the Thanksgiving season departing, its been work work work. I am now an official house husband.

In other news, we will be brewing again tomorrow. Braving the cold of the outdoors to bring you more drinking pleasure.
